Feel The Breeze In Your Hair With The Nitro Concepts Wind Box
Definitely A Niche Product
Have you ever been playing DiRT Rally or Microsoft’s Flight Simulator and been upset you can’t feel the wind in your face? If so, Nitro Concepts has the product for you! The Immersion Wind Box kit is SimHub compatible and consists of a control unit, two Immersion Wind Flow Fans, and the Nitro Concepts UH1 10-Port Hybrid USB Hub. It’s not available for direct purchase in NA, if you want to pay for shipping it will cost ~$175 to buy.
If you really want to feel the breeze you can set the fans up to 500km/h, perhaps to feel what it would be like if you were flying an F-15 without a canopy? TweakTown tried the Wind Box in more reasonable scenarios, with races that require a variety of driving speeds and were impressed by the range of wind speed the Wind Box offered.
You have to really want to get into immersive gaming to try out the Wind Box, and if that’s something you think is a great idea Nitro Concepts also sells a Metahaptic motion device seat cushion kit and several other products.
Nitro Concepts are not blowing the competition away with immersion, but this worthy addition keeps you nice and cool during longer races.
